yttrium y 90 anti-cd45 monoclonal antibody ahn-12 in treating patients with advanced leukemia

Conditions: Leukemia; Myelodysplastic Syndromes

Summary: rationale: monoclonal antibodies can block cancer growth in different ways. some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. radioactive monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium y 90 monoclonal antibody, can find cancer cells and either kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. purpose: this phase i trial is studying the side effects and best dose of a yttrium y 90 monoclonal antibody and how much radiation is taken in by the organs in the body in treating patients with advanced leukemia or other hematologic disorder.

objectives: primary * to establish that a dose of 150 mg/m² of nonradiolabeled anti-cd45 monoclonal antibody ahn-12 results in normal biodistribution, normal-organ estimated radiation-absorbed dose of less than 20 gy, and estimated radiation-absorbed dose of no more than 13 gy to the red marrow. secondary * to determine the maximum tolerated dose of yttrium y 90 anti-cd45 monoclonal antibody ahn-12 (\^90y-ahn-12). * to determine the human anti-mouse antibody (hama) response. * to define, preliminarily, the antitumor activity of \^90y-ahn-12. outline: this is a dose-escalation study of yttrium y 90 anti-cd45 monoclonal antibody ahn-12 (\^90y-ahn-12). * biodistribution: patients receive nonradiolabeled monoclonal antibody ahn-12 iv and an imaging dose of indium y 111 monoclonal antibody ahn-12 (\^111in-ahn-12) iv over 10 minutes on day 0. patients undergo whole-body gamma-camera imaging immediately following infusion, at 4-6 hours, and on days 1, 3, 4, and 7. blood samples are collected prior to each imaging for dosimetry calculations and pharmacokinetics. patients also undergo bone marrow biopsy 16-24 hours after infusion for dosimetry calculations. patients with the expected biodistribution of \^111in-ahn-12, an estimated radiation-absorbed dose to the normal organ of \< 20 gy, an estimated radiation-absorbed dose to the red marrow of ≤ 13 gy, and a negative human anti-mouse antibody at day 7 proceed to the therapy portion. * treatment: patients receive nonradiolabeled anti-cd45 monoclonal antibody ahn-12 iv over 60 minutes and escalating therapy doses of yttrium y 90 anti-cd45 monoclonal antibody ahn-12 (\^90y-ahn-12) iv over 10 minutes on day 7 or 8. after completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 1 year.
